Founder and editor of the New York Tribune (1811-1872) who used the power of his newspaper to advocate for a variety of liberal causes, most importantly the call for emancipation of slaves during the Civil War. ALS, one page, 5 x 8, Office of the Tribune letterhead, October 7, 1860. Letter to Silas Adams, in full: "If you have seen or rec'd my letter to which you refer, I think you could not have written your note now before me; and all I have to ask is that you do see that letter at once. If a majority of the voters in your District desire to be represented by one who agrees with you in sentiment, they will of course vote for Mr. Bailey; if not, they will vote for Mr. Thayer. I have not advised them to vote for one or the other, and I am very glad the choice is offered them." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Greeley's own hand.
